All 8 of the similar games are hits.

No genre covers most of these similar games. The closest is Post-apocalyptic (2 of 8), so its genre is hard to place.

Of the 416 indie games that passed 1,000 reviews in 2022, 11.8% were novel genre mixes and 88.2% stuck to an established genre. Published indie market research.

Best case: Metro: Last Light Redux at ≈ 4.6M–7.5M copies, ≈ $25.3M–$67.9M after Steam's cut. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Post-apocalyptic (2 of 8) and Survival (2 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Survival + Exploration, priced around $20. The breakout hits carry Atmospheric; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2014 to 2022, and none of them shipped in the last two years.

How these numbers were worked out

A hit here: 1,000+ reviews, roughly $150k+ before Steam's cut (a standard indie benchmark).

Copies come from each game's reviews times a sales-per-review rate that falls with release age, from about 31 for the most recent game here to about 70 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
